Yoshioka K, Maki S
Abstract excerpt
This overview summarizes recent information concerning the biopathology of mesangial cell proliferation and matrix expansion which constitute fundamental features in human IgA nephritis. The currently available knowledge, mainly stemming for immunohistochemical observation of human materials, experimental investigations with laboratory animals, and mesangial cell culture studies, emphasizes the importance of cell...
